We had one of these when i was a kid, only it was the 2.0 turbo (SR20DET), and it pretty much smoked every van out there.

Facepalm ...

European truck culture is quite different.

So ... your idea of the ideal supercar is carbon fibre everything, married to a single cylinder 12 litre massey ferguson hot bulb diesel oil engine...

No straight cut gear noise.

Most drive by wire systems are a lot quicker than most people think, but sometimes it can introduce a delay. Mostly with quick and extreme throttle applications, like when heel toeing furiously. The ECU tries to be clever and will ease off the throttle instead of snapping it shut. It will also try to prevent…
